!!NEW VIDEO ALERT!! Delve into the fascinating world of paleontology with Dr. Jingmai O'Connor as she shares her research on the evolution of Aven dinosaurs and the emergence of birds. Dr. Jingmai O'Connor's research focuses on the evolution of Aven dinosaurs, particularly birds, and their emergence from therapod dinosaurs. She delves into the specialized and diverse group of Aven dinosaurs and neornithine birds, exploring the evolution of birds and flight in dinosaurs. Her work also sheds light on the transitions from early birds to modern birds and the multiple hypothesized instances of flight evolution in dinosaurs. She also studies how biological features evolved in birds and the physiological modifications that aided their survival during mass extinction events. Dr. O'Connor's research not only enhances our understanding of ancient avian species but also provides valuable data for modern conservation efforts. Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts on the fascinating evolution of birds and dinosaurs. #science #chicago #paleontology #stemeducation #avian #dinasours #scientist #ask #funtimes #interestingfacts https://lnkd.in/g5j4hw9i

Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, China is set to be the world's highest bridge when completed in June 2025. The 2.9 km-long steel girder suspension bridge will be part of an expressway in Guizhou, with a height of 625 meters from the bottom of the gorge to the bridge deck. Will reduce crossing time of the canyon from approximately 70 minutes to just about a minute. Construction started around 2 years ago.

☀️ #DarwinDay Understanding Evolution What is evolution and how does it work? A project of the UC Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) Evolution 101 provides the nuts-and-bolts on the patterns and mechanisms of evolution. https://lnkd.in/gF489x3g

These tyres are not flat! Drag racing tyres have tall soft sidewalls that wrinkle under hard acceleration. Produces a dampening effect upon initial shock of the drag strip launch. Reduces the chance of the slicks losing traction and spinning upon launch.

🌍Let's start at the beginning... At The Blue Marble Academy, we delve deep into the Earth's story, from its fiery beginnings to the diverse ecosystem we inhabit today. Our science curriculum takes students on an epic journey across geological eras. Here’s a brief timeline: 1. Precambrian (4.6 billion - 541 million years ago) - Uncovering the secrets of Earth’s early formation and the dawn of life. 2. Paleozoic Era (541 - 252 million years ago) - Exploring the age of early marine life, the rise of vertebrates, and the first steps on land. 3. Mesozoic Era (252 - 66 million years ago) - Journeying through the age of dinosaurs, massive reptiles, and the first birds and mammals. 4. Cenozoic Era (66 million years ago - Present) - Understanding the development of modern continents, climate, and the rise of mammals and humans. 🔬 Each era is explored through interactive lessons, hands-on experiments, and field studies, igniting a passion for Earth sciences in our students. 🌟 Join us as we travel through time, unraveling the mysteries of our planet's past and preparing for a sustainable future. #Geology #EarthSciences #EducationalJourney #KingCity #BlueMarbleAcademy

GSA Member Christian Koeberl, a professor at the Universität Wien, recently worked with a team of scientists from the University of Chicago and Yale University on a research project examining the role of large impacts as a potential mechanism which initiated eras of runaway ice-albedo feedback and global glaciation known as Snowball Earth. The findings of Koeberl and his team were published in the journal Science Advances, entitled, ‘Impact-induced initiation of Snowball Earth: A model study.’ Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gz--SsPb #Neoproterozoic #Paleoproterozoic #SnowballEarth #Glaciation #ArcheanGeology #Paleoclimate #Geoscience #Geology #EarthScience #GeologyRocks AAAS

Museums are pivotal in addressing contemporary challenges like climate change and sustainability. They can craft co-created narratives and actions that engage audiences through sensory and emotional experiences. Geology and Paleontology museums, with their wealth of geoheritage and geoconservation knowledge, are especially valuable for informal education on climate issues. This study explores the development and assessment of an educational program at the Natural History Museum of Arsakeio Campus in Psychicko. Findings indicate that students enjoyed their visit, learned about climate-driven mass extinctions, and proposed solutions for current sustainability challenges.
